What Makes ParaPost ® X ™ Posts So Resistant To Oblique Forces? It’s the combination of a unique manufacturing technique and retention pattern
X-Shape Manufacturing Retention pattern is made by a special cold-forming process which produces an uninterrupted fibrous grain structure in the alloy, increasing the post resistance to oblique forces.
Traditional Manufacturing Traditional machined retention patterns produce an interrupted grain structure in the alloy, reducing the post resistance to oblique forces.
X-Shape Retention Pattern The retention pattern has a larger
Traditional Retention Pattern Traditional circular retention patterns have a smaller cross-sectional area at each groove, which concentrates oblique forces toward the inner areas, reducing the post resistance to oblique forces.
cross-sectional area at any point along the entire post length, providing greater resistance to oblique forces.
Yield strength Tensile strength
Titanium Alloy ParaPost X Posts are made from Ti6AL4V titanium alloy which is twice as strong as pure titanium. Ti6AL4V is used for high stress-bearing implant parts (ie., hip joints, dental abutment retaining screws).
